Every End has a Start Doctors

-Lick of paint. What do you think?

-It's fine.

It's better than that bus shelter.

It's great. It's just, I've got no cash.

I told you. I'll sort that for now, don't worry.

OK, thanks. I'm really grateful, Andi. You've been so nice.

That's all right. Just looking out for a mate. You'd do the same.

Yeah, well, I owe you.

Hey, you know what we need? A housewarming party!

-I don't know...

-Don't get overexcited or nothing(!)

No, it's just I'm new here. I don't really know anyone yet.

I'll call Leon. He'll definitely fancy you.

-Don't know about that.

-Trust me,

you're his type.

Don't tell me the boys didn't queue up back home?

-My dad was pretty strict.

-Exactly!

Catholic girls love to party!

Come on. You'll love it. I'll look after you.

-So, what do you reckon? Are we on?

-OK.

Go, girl!

-I look a mess, though.

-Leave that to me.

I'll call Leon. Maybe he's got a cute best mate, too?

Now, we'd better think where can we get our hands on some booze?

Why are you making such a big deal out of this?

Because you don't own a house

until you actually have the paperwork in your hand saying so.

-Simple.

-Not as simple as you.

Oh, I do like a mature debate over breakfast(!)

The paperwork is just a formality. I don't see why...

We're going to have to talk about this later, OK? I've got to go.

I'll stop off after work, and get us a takeaway.

Great. Indian?

Outer Mongolian, if it's what your mum wants.

You know what I want.

HE SIGHS

Oi!

-Morning.

-Good morning.

-We're the first here?

-I believe so.

-Oh, time for a cuppa, then.

-Morning, guys. Anybody seen Heston?

Dr Carter has not arrived yet.

Oh, OK.

Kevin, hi. It's Daniel.

Heston isn't here yet, so until I've had a chance to speak to him,

you better stay put. Yeah, I'll be in touch, OK? Cheers.

Hello, can I help you?

I think my friend might be here.

-OK. Name?

-Me?

-No, your friend.

Are you OK, love?

Yes, he's taken some kind of hallucinogenic.

LSD, or some variant. Anyway, no interviews

till he's aware he's not the king of the squirrels.

I hear you've got a good head for heights?

It's the first arrest I've ever made up a tree.

This young lass here has just collapsed on me at the front desk.

-She's complaining of stomach pains.

-I've not even had breakfast yet.

Shall we take her through?

Oh, Andrea! Fancy seeing you again(!)

-Just leaving.

-Sure we'll see you again soon.

-You wish.

-How old's the girl?

She said she's 18, so probably...

A lot younger.

By the look of her, I think she's been sleeping rough.

This is Dr Clay, Mary. He's going to check you over, OK?

Hi, Mary. How are you doing?

So, you've been having stomach pains?

Do you want to lie down for me?

Right, tell me if it hurts, OK?

How long have you been having the pains?

Day or two. Worse this morning.

Any other symptoms? Any upset stomach or sickness?

-It's not a local accent, is it?

-No.

How long you been in Letherbridge?

-Week or so.

-Somewhere to stay?

A friend sorted me out with a place.

A bedsit, or...?

Flat. In the Benhall House. On the Marlowe Estate?

Yeah, I know it.

Sorry, is that where it's worst?

Have you had any bleeding recently, other than your period?

And is there any chance you might be pregnant?

OK, Mary. I think you should call in at the hospital.

It's just a precaution, but...

You OK?

VOMITING

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

It's OK. It's fine. Don't worry.

Has anyone seen Mrs Parker's file?

Not guilty.

Hang on, that rings a bell.

-I have nothing until 5:30pm.

-I really need it now.

-FOOTSTEPS

-That will be Dr Carter.

I'll call you back.

Oh, Heston. Oh, my God!

Please. I need... I need to tell you the truth.

OK...

I have been living a lie

of my own making...

..and I can't...

I don't want to do it anymore.

I have suffered repeated...

..inexplicable, unexplained acts of violence.

-In my own home. From someone I love deeply.

-Oh, Heston.

I tried to convince myself I could deal with this without outside help.

If there is a solution,

I'm not a part of it.

Nor do I want to be.

It's over.

I've left...

..and she won't hurt me anymore.

-Remember what I said, Mary.

-I'm OK.

-You really should go to the hospital.

-Can I leave now?

What about your friend?

-She all right now?

-She's just a kid.

-16?

-15.

Did you notice her clock that other girl outside?

-Yeah, who is she?

-Andrea Shaw. A regular.

You know, I'd lay good odds that Mary's pregnant.

I'll look in to that later.

At the moment, I've got an arrest warrant coming through.

It's been a bit full on today, hasn't it?

It never rains. I'm getting full-on grief at home, on top of all this.

What, with the new house?

-Karen leave it alone.

-Probably just excited.

There's time for that when it's ours.

Isn't that just a formality?

You're worse than she is! See you later.

Oh, I could check Mary with Missing Persons?

Good idea. Let me know how you get on.

My judgement was impaired. I've not been myself.

Heston, you don't have to...

-I was too harsh on Kevin. I made him a scapegoat because

-I

-was suffering.

But...I want it noted that I was to blame

for my teaching

of the Choose And Book system...

-not him.

-Please, Heston. Don't do that...

And I take responsibility for any mistakes.

Heston, please...

Thank you for listening.

Wait, Heston. Please. Wait a minute! Where are you going to go?

I have no idea.

Heston, what are you going to do? When are you are coming back?

I don't know.

Oh, but, Dr Carter!

Dr Carter! Talk to me, please!

Dr...

What happened? He has just walked out here alone!

We need to go and help him!

It was Mrs Bonnaire, wasn't it?

What?

I always suspected she had a devilish streak in her heart.

I can't begin to imagine what that poor man has been through.

But he is going to the police?

I don't really think he really knows where he is going.

But someone needs to be there.

He needs time, Mrs Tembe, to recover.

But he is coming back?

SHE MOUTHS

-Found your man, then?

-Yeah. Get your girl?

-Yeah.

Real name, Marie Callaghan.

Reported missing by her dad in Ireland six days ago.

Totally out the blue.

Sounds familiar. Sorry, I must get these processed.

Listen, she told me her mate managed to get her a place in Marlowe.

-Andrea's? Claughton House?

-No. This was Benhall.

-There are lots of squats and empty flats.

-I'll have a scout around.

-I wouldn't.

Well, I'll call you if I'm in trouble.

-She really got to you, didn't she?

-Yeah. We were both wrong. She's 14.

What were you playing at?

Sorry. I just came in to see if I could help, then I felt sick.

That really helped(!)

Forget it.

I gave a false name.

-Good. So how do I look?

-Great.

Got to make an effort. I'm going to look like an old hag next to you.

No!... So who's coming?

Leon's bringing a couple of mates. Hopefully some good-looking ones.

Anyone else?

Told him all about you. He's well keen.

Get that down you.

Would you do me? I'm not very...

OK. Right. Time to work my magic.

Excuse me, do you, erm...?

You're way too early. I said...!

-Hello, again.

-Wrong flat.

Sorry, is Marie here? Marie Callaghan?

Like I said, wrong flat.

Andrea, she's 14. She's vulnerable.

I don't know who or what you're talking about.

-I saw you at the station...

-Are you DEAF?

I'm not a policeman, OK? I'm a doctor.

I just need to check she's all right.

Can you get your foot out of my door?

Yeah. Could you just tell her...?

-Are they here?

-No.

Who was it, then?

No-one.

You need a bit more mascara.

I can't get my head around it.

Marina's a good friend of my mum's. They go way back.

So do her problems, it would appear.

It's so shocking. How long do you think it's been going on?

We all must have missed the warning signs. Poor Heston.

Well, someone needs to go and find him, and check he's all right.

He's going to need a lot of support.

Leave him be. Give him a chance to lick his wounds.

Perhaps Dr Carter has struggled long enough alone.

He needs somebody there.

-DANCE MUSIC

-Very nice.

Hi.

Hiya. Want a beer?

How d'you get in?

Magic.

How you settling in, then?

Yeah, good.

Andi said you needed a place to stay.

-Thought Id like to help out.

-I didn't realise it was you who...

No problem. Main thing is you like the place, yeah?

What about the company? Just relax.

You know you're beautiful?

Thought that the minute I saw you.

Thanks.

Don't be hiding it, looking down.

That's more like it.

Come here.

Kevin, please have a seat.

I'd rather stand.

Fine. Well, the good news is that the complaint against you

has been dropped.

-Is this a wind up?

-No, far from it.

And, I would like to personally apologise to you. I'm sorry.

-Really?

-Yes, I should have listened to you.

OK, what's happened?

Well, Heston came in to see me earlier,

to tell me it had all been a...mistake.

And that he was very sorry,

but he had had some personal issues which had affected...

his work.

Is he going to be all right?

He needs time.

Anyway, the bottom line is that you are very welcome to come back.

So, will tomorrow be OK?

I've made other arrangements now.

Well, Thursday, then?

OK.

Good.

What's the matter?

I'm not... Could you just slow down?

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Thing is, darling,

I haven't exactly got all day.

You know, I've got business to take care of.

-All right?

-Yeah. How's it going?

Marie?

-Can we just move things along a bit, yeah?

-I feel sick.

What's going on?

It's OK. I'll sort it.

You'd better.

Just give me a minute.

Are you OK?

-It's no big deal.

-What isn't?

-Leon. The others.

I don't understand.

You thought you'd just been given this place?

Nothing comes for free.

Look, it won't take long, OK? Trust me. Never does with Leon.

Am I supposed to have sex with him?

How else are you planning to pay?

-I thought you were my friend!

-I am.

Am I supposed to have sex with the others, too?

What's the big deal? You've done it before, right?

-Why didn't you tell me you were 14?

-You never asked!

-And you're a virgin, too?

-No!

I'm pregnant!

SHE SIGHS

Are you serious?

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Come in.

-Sorry, I know you've got a lot on your plate.

-Hang on.

Right. Done. You knocked on Mary's flat?

Marie. And Andrea answered.

Probably nothing, but she seemed pretty jumpy.

What about Marie?

Didn't see her. Andrea denied even knowing her in the first place.

It's not against the law to befriend a 14-year-old girl.

-Yeah...

-And I can't get a search warrant because someone seems jumpy.

However, you're right. Something is wrong. Come on.

Time's money, girls!

Please, I don't want to do this.

-Open the door!

-Yeah, she's just coming!

She's getting something nice on!

Come on.

'Andi, I swear if you don't come out this room...!'

-Go on, get out! Hurry up!

-What about you?

Open this door!

Don't come back.

Andi!

-What's Andi's record?

-You name it. D&D, possession,

breaking and entering, violent assault...

RADIO: 'Suspected assault reported on the Marlowe Estate.

'13 Benhall House, Ferriday Road.'

What are the odds?

7244 to control. I'm on my way.

PHONE RINGS

-Oh!

-Bet you wish you'd never let her go now?!

KNOCK ON DOOR

SHE WHIMPERS

Good. Because you're going to go out there, and you're going to find her.

Get off her!

Either she really likes this place, or she really likes me.

-Smart money's on me.

-Get off me!

I've called the police, so you'd better get out of here now!

-Is that right?

-They're on their way.

Well, first, you owe me.

No please! I'm pregnant.

Not my problem.

SIRENS WAIL

I never forget a debt.

Marie!

SIRENS APPROACHING

I told you to not to come back, you stupid...

I'm sorry!

KNOCK ON DOOR

Police!

-Police! Open up!

-BANG

Marie? Marie, can you hear me? It's Dr Clay.

How is she?

We need to call an ambulance. She's lost a lot of blood.

7244 to control.

I need an ambulance. 13 Ferriday Road.

I'm sorry about the baby.

Maybe it was a sign it wasn't meant to be?

14 is pretty young to have that kind of responsibility.

I checked Missing Persons, Marie.

Did you run away from home because you were pregnant?

You know your family's looking for you?

It's just me and my dad.

Did he know?

No-one knew.

So, what do you want to do now?

Do you want to go home?

Then I think you should call your dad.

I can't! What would I tell him?

Tell him that you're safe. Tell him that you want to come back home.

The rest is totally up to you.

Thank you.

Good luck, yeah?

Dad? It's me. Yeah, I'm OK.

I'm sorry.

DOOR SLAMS

Bengal Nights' finest...

..feast.

"New house, measuring up. Bring food."

-SHE TAPS ON DOOR

-Hello?

Hello, Dr Carter.

Dr Carter!

It is me!

Mrs Tembe.

Dr Carter!

Just needs airing, that's all.

Oi! You listening to me?!

Sorry, I'm just a bit hungry.

I was saying this bit, all kind of pot plants, Mediterrany,

lovely and warm.

Unlike this, which is now stone cold.

It is fine. This is your home.

She has gone.

Thank you.

Now you must eat.

You need to keep up your strength.

-No, no.

-I'm very grateful, but...

It is nothing. I will go and heat it up for you.

It's just common sense!

Everything is always the letter of the law with you. This IS my house!

Oh, for crying out loud! How many MORE times?

Why don't you just let go a little, Rob?

-What, and release my inner conservatory?

-All right, stop it!

This is horrible. All this rowing and fighting, all over again.

Last year was the worst ever

and you guys are back at each other's throats -

it's all happening again and I can't take it any more!

-Immie, I'm sorry.

-Yeah, sorry, love.

You cheeky mare!

I didn't have any lunch, and I'm starving.

Get the plates, then!

-Where's the naan bread? Did you order naan?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Rob! You know I like it with naan!

-Sorry.

-Did you forget?

-I can't remember!

Well, either you did or you didn't!

I'm really not very hungry.

You need to be looked after.

What I need is sleep. Nothing else. Honestly.

Dr Carter, I really must insist that you eat SOMETHING.

Please.

I will just go and tidy up.

Get real, Dad! You ate way more than half!

Portions are related to earnings,

so you're lucky you got any at all, you slacker.

Oops, sorry. Hang on.

What now? Memory like a sieve.

Handbag. Check. Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything else?

-Two words.

-Naan bread.

I am sure that I ordered a naan.

-I bet you ate it in the car.

-How do YOU know?

BICKERING CONTINUES

If there's anything else I can do for you Dr Car...

Sleep well, Dr Carter.

SHE SIGHS

-All right, boys?

-Duncan.

-Have you been to the police?

-No.

-Why not?

-I want to forget it.

-You're two-timing Debs?!

-There's plenty to go around.

-Why don't you move in with me?

-Are you serious?

You do love me, don't you?

-We're very worried about you.

-"Sad, pathetic Heston"!
